    Just who is getting played by the Russians here?
    It was more than the simple tweets you'd like to pretend,

    "The Russians allegedly posed as Americans to operate bogus social media accounts, buy advertisements and stage political rallies. They stole the identities of real people in the US to post online and built computer systems in the US to hide the Russian origin of their activity"

    And not only was it financed to the tune of a million and quarter a month, but, had direct ties back to the Kremlin

    They either suck at their jobs or she is just that good.

    Her husband was an exceptional politician. Hillary ultimately won one election in a heavily democratic state.

    Now, let us pretend that never happened, and Trump's fan boys somehow know all along that the Russian were interfering in our elections.
    The original goalpost was direct Russian collusion.

    There is, quite literally, nothing different about this election in this regard. Russians were doing that in 2014 (as well as long before, including letters to the editor, etc. back in the day when newspaper ink got on your fingers if you were getting information) before Trump was even a candidate. Seriously. This is not something new. The Russians like to try to mess around in election times, but have, as in this case, always been pretty ineffective in actually changing election results.

    This isn't "collusion" with Russians by anybody, this isn't anything that they've been trying to get you to believe all this time. This is some Russian tweets, ineffective tweets too according to the conclusion in the report.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    Well, not so much. Give them Uranium, but their tweets, man. Their powerful, powerful tweets! NoooooOOOOooooo! I feel myself looking for a ballot again to vote for Trump just THINKING about them tweets that made me not vote for Hillary.

    I’ve been on record here with my disdain of Trump but the bottom line is that he has already done what I voted for him to do.

    Which is it?
    The answer is corruption in the FBI, Strzok and Comey wrote her exoneration letter before the investigation was even complete.

    No, that was a secondary consideration, read the memorandum from Rosenstien creating the Special Council, the purpose was to examine Russian influence in the election

    Shoot, before questioning had even started in most cases.

    And a whole lot more which you won't accept till it hits you on the head, I'll predict not this April, but next

    That's the same cop out the Evangelists rationalize, the same people that screamed about morals and family values now find themselves bowing down to an individual who characterizes the exact opposite

    Hillary had horrible favorability ratings. Quit acting like everyone who supported her loved her. These were two most disliked candidates in recent history.
